In this age of perfection, Candice Lapin finds a brilliant way to remind parents that in fact the goal is not to raise perfect children, but rather, responsible and resilient ones. If you have a tween or teen struggling in school and you are looking for solutions, look no further. This book provides very practical steps for parents to use with the end result of building confident children who find their own way of tackling school. We are reminded that it is the environment, positive habits, and success mindset that work as a symphony to build the long-term result: a responsible and resilient adult.

About the Author Candice Lapin is the author of Parenting in the Age of Perfection: A Modern Guide to Nurturing a Success Mindset now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. She also runs The Ladder Method, a meta-learning and academic tutoring company in Orange County, Los Angeles and New York. 
Before she became a well known life coach for kids and young teens in Los Angeles, Candice Lapin was a successful entrepreneur in both fashion and tech. Her eponymous fashion line graced the pages of German Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, In Style and Us Weekly to name a few all while working as the Managing Attorney of Legalzoom.com. She later went on to launch a successful start up and was the first female invited into a start-up accelerator in Silicon Beach. Yet with all of her achievements, something was missing from Lapin's life. For years, she had started one business after another yet felt seriously stifled and unfulfilled. She stumbled into mentoring kids, families and now adults after experiencing major burn out.
In those early months, it was her work with children who had learning difficulties and behavior problems that really raised her awareness. She saw what was missing from the educational field--process and study skills. But, it was her ability to teach children strong boundaries and positive academic behaviors routinely over several appointments per week was transformational. She saw the confidence of formerly troubled kids and teens sky-rocket as they finally understood what was missing from their life! It was in those early days that her inspirational method of instruction was born; and, her life was forever changed.
She now helms the successful learning company --The Ladder Method-- where over 50 instructors teach her "Ladder Method" to thousands of young kids, teens, and even adults. She has helped countless families and children through her tireless focus on re-framing old modes of thinking by establishing consistent routines, strong boundaries and positive outlook.
